ANTY FESTIVAL - CALL FOR PROPOSAL
------------------------------------
ANTI Festival - Call for Proposals
ANTI Festival will be organized in Kuopio in September 27–30, 2007. ANTI is a forum for experimental, radical and non-commercial art. It offers an international and visible arena to introduce art works in a city environment. The emphasis of the ANTI festival is on live art and environmental art, including light, sound, installation and performances. JOIN US!
Artists and students as well as designers from all artistic fields are encouraged to submit their new ideas and works of art.
CONTENTS OF ANTI PROPOSALS
This festival aims to activate sites/environments selected beforehand in the city of Kuopio. Art works can take place directly in the proposed location or conceptually in- or outdoors. The participating artists select the location for their works from the proposed location options. The list of sites can be viewed on our festival website.
It is essential for the proposals to take the audience and customers that are already present at each location into consideration. Site-specificity is an extremely important factor as regards assessing and selecting momentary performances as well as sculptural works. In addition to the physical location, the idea of the work can deal with the notion of space through people who work in that particular place or the values, actions or contemporary events which the location represents. Please note that the art works may also combine various locations and themes. In addition to the site-specific elements of each location, it is possible to use sound and lights in the environmentally-oriented art and performances.
FORM OF PROPOSALS AND REQUIREMENTS
The proposals must include the name of the artist and a CV, working title of the work, place, contact details, budget, technical requirements and a working plan (max. 1 page) and only one appendix (i.e. photograph, video, CD-ROM). Appendices will not be returned. The proposals do not need to be technically ready before submission as the idea can be developed afterwards. However, it is important that the main idea of the work and the estimated costs are clearly stated in the proposal. Estimated costs should include all the necessary materials, travelling costs and the artist fee. Photos and descriptions of the sites are available at www.antifestival.com.
The sites of the ANTI 2007 festival are Open College (Puistokartano), the reduction of the city paper Viikko-Savo, Uppo-Nalle children’s park, Grill Teatterigrilli, skateboarding spot, Vasikkasaari Island and Kuopion Osuuspankki Bank. Site-specific information will be available on our website.
The deadline for applications is 28 February, 2007. Please post your application to ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival, Koljonniemenkatu 2, 2nd Floor, 70100 Kuopio, Finland or e-mail info@antifestival.com. Please note that the appendix (if necessary) should be sent by post.
